I have 3 DS that only like computer games. Toys are sooooo last year, Mum. Ideas for presents that don't resemble toys?

DS1 12
DS2 10
DS3 8

...all are apparently 'too old' for toys. Computer games is the only bit of the Argos book they care about What else can I get them? They have bikes, scooters, skateboards, TV's, CD players... any ideas for boyish prezzies that aren't toys?

The Young Driver lessons are just something a bit different, it's going to be over 5 years until he gets his Provisional.(I am dreading it TBH)
I'm not sure about 15/16 yo taking the wheel, it seems a bit like it's pushing them too soon.
We find it really difficult finding birthday treats for DS- done parties,soft-play and home, cinema, outdoor adventure.

Lizzylou Max is the best boys' name- I'm biased though, my DS is Max. And the easy spelling was one of the deciding factors Grin (Though if he's got his boy-listening ears on, I call him Maxamillion. That gets his attention!)

Can I just confirm that Benedict can spell both the shortened and long versions of his name?

Also Pinot, no offence, 3 boys? Nah. I'll have your kittens mwah mwah mwah

DilysPrice.....glad you still get a kick out of seeing your 'little ones' face. Hope I'll always have my 2 DS's close (not in a clingy way).

I was looking at men's gift sets in Boots today- they had some Soap and Glory ones for men.(On 3 for 2)
I could just picture my DS curled lip if he opened it.

I have to chase him with a Sure for Men stick (he's not a whiffy teen yet, just getting into practice)

Young Driver lessons are very different, LOTF. I love the idea and thanks for letting me know about them!

Six years until DD's provisional but I'm determined she won't end up like me at almost forty with only a few lessons under her belt and a LIFETIME of letting the rules of the road / anything to do with cars fly over her head. I am an excellent passenger for this reason though Wink
